Two plugins are delivered in the component installation package without any additional cost!

Plugins

1. Content plugin allows you to insert flipping books and magazines directly into the content articles or add links to magazines.

It looks through an article text and exchanges special text tag "{flashmag id=mag_id link=text_of_link}" for a magazine flash object directly, or for a link to it according to your choice.

2. Use button plugin to make inserting magazines into articles even easier.

What you'll need to do is just click the Flash Magazine button in the bottom HTML-editor menu and select a book or magazine from the ones available on your site, and indicate whether you want to put it directly into content or place a link to it.

Note: Due to security reason some component doesn't have full functionality there Demo site resets every 3 hours.

Can this component take a PDF and turn it into a flash magazine?

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to create a universal script that works on all kind of servers. It’s not possible to do all necessary actions only with facilities of one component.

"MultiUpload" tool has been developed. This option allows you to create a magazine from package with images. You should create new magazine with required settings. In fact new magazine could be created very fast and easy.

But you have to use some free or paid soft for converting PDF to Images.

3) upload to any folder of your site (relative to Joomla root directory) or create a package of images (please note that your server should allow to upload files of big size in case you use the package method);

4) create a magazine and choose the required settings;

5) create the pages using "MultiUpload" feature.

Which types of file can I upload for sound and image data?

You can upload sound files with mp3 and wav extensions and image files with jpg, gif and png extensions. Also you can upload swf files for pages.

Does FlashMagazine Deluxe support right-to-left languages?

The extension does not fully support RTL languages. It does allow turning pages from left-to-right as well as using content compiled in an RTL language, but the interface of the extension will not display correctly if you try to translate it from default English into an RTL language.

How do I install new update for the JoomlaFlashMagazine component?

Firstly, uninstall your version of the component. All data will be kept in your database. Then install new version of the component. This will upgrade your database structure, if necessary, and all your data will be correctly moved to the new version.

How to change background color?

There's the option "Background color", enter the code of necessary color in the blank field or simply click the button near the empty field, select one you'd like, click on it. Save the template details (click "Save" or "Apply" button).

"Elements color" is the color of all service buttons on front-end.
